My absolute passion is to create! I specialize in conceptual design, affordable methods of prototyping, development and manufacturing of electrical/electronic & mechanical products. I bring innovative ideas to “life” with the support of some of South-Africa’s best engineering and support centres with their highly skilled Electronic- and Mechanical engineers.

My Background:
I have been a full time & part time DJ for 23 years. I studied Electronic Engineering and Renewable energy technologies and I’m currently employed at The Central University of Technology, Free State as an Audio-Visual Officer. Since childhood my parents, and later on myself, couldn’t afford all the toys and gadgets my friends had - so I built them.
It didn’t matter how elementary it was, but it gave me immense satisfaction when I physically saw my own creation, which was merely a thought earlier! I guess this satisfaction shaped me as the passionate inventor, designer and creator I’m today. I developed my first Patented device in 2006 and had ever since designed, developed and patented many more products. A few are commercialized.
I had many setbacks, personal losses, disappointments, hardships and challenges these past years, but it only matured and defined me as an entrepreneur. I always challenge myself and believe that success is never final. Great is not good enough!
Being through these processes a few times enable me to assist and guide ordinary, passionate people, like me, through the same processes. I would fulfill my mission and purpose if I successfully commercialize products, and by doing that, better people’s lives in some way.
